spanning-tree cost
This command configures the spanning tree path cost for the specified interface.
Use the no form to restore the default auto-configuration mode.
Syntax
spanning-tree cost cost
no spanning-tree cost
cost - The path cost for the port. (Range: 0 for auto-configuration, 1-65535
for short path cost method

Default Setting
By default, the system automatically detects the speed and duplex mode used on
each port, and configures the path cost according to the values shown below. Path
cost "0" is used to indicate auto-configuration mode. When the short path cost
method is selected and the default path cost recommended by the IEEE 8021w
standard exceeds 65,535, the default is set to 65,535.

Command Usage
◆
This command is used by the Spanning Tree Algorithm to determine the best
path between devices. Therefore, lower values should be assigned to ports
attached to faster media, and higher values assigned to ports with slower
media.
11. Use the spanning-tree pathcost method
displayed in the CLI prompt message shows the maximum value for path cost. However,
note that the switch still enforces the rules for path cost based on the specified path cost
method (long or short).
